Iggychic I am much better now. This happened 8-14 this year. I didn't have rapid weight loss at the beginning like most, I actually gained 5lbs at my first visit after surgery. I was so full of Fluid from the IV's. I'm on the right track now. As of today I am down 43 lbs!

Just the idea of Sharting myself is a serious complication to Me....

Lol...I agree

I thank God I have not had a "major" complication, but at almost 4 weeks out I'm still having pain issues, which my surgeon cannot figure out. It is interfering with my quality of life and basic activities of daily living. I pray time will heal me and I will look back at this as a "bump in the road". I've had follow up blood work twice and an abdominal CT scan. Everything appears "mostly" normal. Complications take on different meanings when you're living them.

Amen to that! When you are the 1 in 400 your perspective on the odds changes significantly.

I hope they either figure your issue out or it dissipates soon. Thats a long time to feel ill.

But Angel you probably missed the dreaded 3 week stall (look on the good side LOL). My surgery was 8/23 and I was up 40lbs once when they did the morning weights in hospital. I looked like the stay puff marshmallow boy with exterior wiring (lots of tubes and lines). But you're rocking good health now :) Great job and I'm glad your "bump in the road" is over!

      I've hit a stall 9 months out. I'm not worried, though. My fitness levels continue to improve and I have nearly accomplished my pre-surgery goal of learning to scuba dive! One dive left to complete to get my PADI card 🐠
      I was able to go for a 10K/6mile hike in the mountains two days ago just for the fun of it. In the before days, I might have attempted this, but it would have taken me 7 or 8 hours to complete and I would have been exhausted and in pain for the next two days. Taking my time with breaks for snacks and water, I was finished with my wee jaunt in only 4 hours 😎 and really got to enjoy photographing some insects, fungi, and turtles.
      Just for fun last week, I ran two 5Ks in two days, something I would have never done in the past! Next goal is a 10K before the end of this month.

      Hi everyone, I wrote back in May about having no strength. I still get totally exhausted just walking from room to room, it’s so bad I’m using a walker with wheels of all things. I had the gastric sleeve Jan. 24th. I’m doing exactly what the programs says, except protein shakes. I have different meats and protein bars daily, including vitamins daily. I do drink my fluids as well.  I go in for IV hydration 4 days a week and feel ok just til evening.  So far as of Jan 1st I’ve dropped 76 lbs. I just want to enjoy the weight lose. Any suggestions or has anyone else gone thru this??  Doctor says just increase calorie intake, still the same.

      Losing my hair in clumps and still dealing with "stomach" issues from gallbladder removal surgery. On the positive side I'm doing better about meeting protein and water goals and taking my vitamins, so yay? 🤷‍♀️
